CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:

Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.

To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.

Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.

When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.

Probably. Once he has destroyed the FBI, placed Evangelicals in the SCOTUS, flooded the judiciary with puppet judges and silenced the "fake news" so that the only news is what HE wants U.S. to hear, he will be King and won't NEED an election.

No, the president has no authority over the press, however he can silence the news in more legal and subtle ways - in fact, he's already doing it with this whole "FAKE NEWS" narrative. He's convinced his supporters that any news which criticises him and his agenda is "fake" and "liberal bias", and that anything which supports him is the complete truth.

Have you noticed how the alt-right constantly call CNN, the BBC, etc "fake" whilst you never hear a word from them on even worse publications which routinely fabricate stories such as Breitbart?

The president has a right to say whatever he wants too, and him calling out the fake news is in no way shape or form a demand for censorship.

The media has been lying about Trump very consistently since he announced his candidacy. I can say this with knowledge because I figured it out real early on from GOING TO PRIMARY SOURCES.

You know, like actually listening to what Trump was saying instead of having it filtered by people who clearly have it out for him.

A lot of people woke up because of this election. None of it is really new. The media has always been full of excrement. Things would be saner if more people realized that.

Is the solution censorship? Absolutely not, and the people who call for this are asking for the guns to be aimed at themselves as well.

Who started this whole fake news things anyway? CNN. I remember when they started it. This whole "fake news" thing is them getting a taste of their own medicine. They threw the first stone, despite living in a glass house.

The FBI did that on their own, from the Hillary Email debacle to Peter Strzok's texts, to mass leaks from everywhere. Even liberals used to want Comey gone. They spun that narrative 180 degrees pretty quick.

placed Evangelicals in the SCOTUS

Oh dear. America will stay the same as it's always been. Hit the fire alarm!

flooded the judiciary with puppet judges

It's flooded with liberal puppet judges as we speak. It's why every executive migrant block is met by a federal liberal judge at the door.

and silenced the "fake news"

He actually treats them better than Obama treated Fox News.

so that the only news is what HE wants U.S. to hear

I doubt it. Liberal media never shuts up until a lib gets back in office. Then they ignore everything bad and lift up their new messiah.

WOW! I really tickled your hemorrhoids this time! What a RANT! I'll just point out ONE little thing that separates Obama from the Trump.

Obama to his newly appointed attorneys (when he first met with them: "I appointed you, but you DO NOT work for ME. You serve the American people and I expect you to act with independence and integrity."

In contrast, The Trump insists, first, on their loyalty to HIM! Rather "Putinesque" I would say. (And you don't have to agree ... you can Trump it! (lie). :-)

No. The difference was, he deported those who deserved deportation, not just anyone who had a parking ticket and a Hispanic heritage! He was (is) a Christian with a Muslim heritage he was BORN into, just like the name "Hussein" that he was BORN into ... way back when the name had NO hysterical undertones, even with the right wing of the U.S.! Obama started the "extreme vetting" long before Grump coined the term. It included ALL immigrants INCLUDING Muslims ... fairly.

Neither does Trump. And Obama deported more than Trump.

He was (is) a Christian with a Muslim heritage he was BORN into, just like the name "Hussein" that he was BORN into ... way back when the name had NO hysterical undertones, even with the right wing of the U.S.!

So now Christianity is good. I'll save this for the next time I see you trashing it.

As much as I absolutely do not agree with most of what he does. If the Democrats don't step it up and put someone worthy (or at least worthier than Hillary) as a candidate, he very well may. If they put someone good up to run for Presidency then I think Trump will be gone, if he survives the term as it is now.

Everything he is doing is restoring America's freedoms, and it's free market economy. He is a breath of fresh air after decades of corrupt politicans who only care for their big money donors.

Trump needed no one to buy his election. He is not beholden to anyone. His entire focus is for America and it's citizens. He's not in it for money or power.

He could go down as the greatest President in our lifetimes. He's cutting useless regulations hurting job growth, our economy is exploding, our 401k's exploding, he's cutting taxes for the working man, ISIS is losing their strongholds, he's protecting American's with a conscious from paying to kill unborn babies, illegal immigration is going down, etc. etc.
